Preemptive Pardons for January 6 Committee Members replies
Senator Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) said President Joe Biden should “very seriously” consider preemptive pardons for members of the House January 6 select committee after president-elect Donald Trump said last week they should be jailed.
Sanders twice called Trump’s recent statement “outrageous.”
“This is what authoritarianism is all about. It’s what dictatorship is all about,” the former Democrat said on NBC’s Meet the Press Sunday morning. “You do not arrest elected officials who disagree with you, who undertake an investigation.”
Wright Patterson Air Force Base had to close its airspace late Friday night and early Saturday morning because of drones flying in the area, reports say.
Robert Purtiman, a spokesman for Wright Patterson, confirmed to WCPO Channel 9 that the drones first were spotted near the air base late Friday night. The incident comes as concerns build over repeated sightings of drones in New Jersey and New York. “To date, installation leadership has determined none of the incursions impacted base residents, facilities or assets,” Purtiman tells WHIO Channel 7. Airspace around the military base base blocked for about four hours because of the drone sightings, WHIO reports.
It has been reported that Nancy Pelosi was refused Holy Communion at the U.S. Capitol yesterday. Archbishop Timothy Broglio reportedly refused Pelosi, a self-described Catholic who advocates for abortion, the Sacrament after a Mass he celebrated in the Capitol on December 12 in honor of Our Lady of Guadalupe, the patron saint of the Americas. [Snip] However, as CNA reported, “Broglio agreed to meet with Pelosi but did not give her Communion.” [Snip] “Michelle Gress, executive director at the office of government relations at the USCCB, told CNA that Broglio declined Pelosi’s request as the Mass had already ended and they ‘didn’t consecrate extra Hosts,” the outlet reported.

The Garden State has been at the epicenter of the recent flurry of flying objects which have baffled experts and concerned local lawmakers - as the central government flounders to provide concrete answers about what's going on.
A whopping 964 incidents have been logged in New Jersey since the first sighting on November 19 up until December 13, according to statistics collected by the state's Office of Emergency Management and shared with the New York Post.
A senior official within the Palestinian terrorist organization Hamas admitted to a Saudi media outlet that the October 7 terror attack caused the destruction of the organization because of the ferocity of Israel’s response.
Israel Hayom reported Sunday:
A senior Hamas official currently based in Turkey told Saudi media that the 37th anniversary of the terrorist organization’s founding comes during a period of decline due to defeats in Gaza and the broader region.
The official disclosed, “Hamas is suffering from a genuine leadership crisis. The Al-Aqsa Flood attack backfired on us, submerging us in a sea of blood and crises.

New Jersey-based attorney Alina Habba hit the nation’s radar back in 2021, becoming President-elect Trump's fierce legal defender and then spokeswoman as he battled an onslaught of legal cases and criminal charges ahead of his decisive win against Vice President Kamala Harris last month.
Now, Habba is readying to take on a new role: counselor to the president under Trump's second administration.
"Alina has been a tireless advocate for Justice, a fierce Defender of the Rule of Law, and an invaluable Advisor to my Campaign and Transition Team," Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social last week, announcing her new role. "She has been unwavering in her loyalty,
In March, ABC Host and former Clinton operative George Stephanopoulos repeated the false claim that Trump had been found liable for rape. He added that Trump’s remarks about Carroll were defaming to a victim of said rape. That’s not what the jury found in that case. Stephanopoulos was sparring with Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) when he landed the network into legal trouble. The network also had to pay for Trump’s legal costs, and they had to offer an apology (via Fox News): (Video) ABC News and its top anchor George Stephanopoulos have reached a settlement with Donald Trump in his defamation suit, which will result in the news network
Two men were arrested on Saturday night in Boston after a hazardous drone operation near Logan Airport’s airspace. Boston Police say 42-year-old Robert Duffy, of Charlestown, and 32-year-old Jeremy Folcik, of Bridgewater, are facing trespassing charges. Authorities say an officer detected a drone operating close to Logan International Airport at around 4:30 p.m. and was able to identify the operators' position on Long Island. According to police, they located three people inside the decommissioned Long Island Health Campus. When attempting to make contact, the people fled on foot,
Actor-comedian Chris Rock used his opening monologue on NBC’s Saturday Night Live to take a few parting jabs at Joe Biden, joking that the president gave the “middle finger” to America when he preemptively pardoned his son, Hunter.
Chris Rock hosted SNL this weekend and wasted little time in unleashing a series of political jokes. “Joe Biden pardoned his son, Hunter Biden. I gotta hand it to Joe, man. You know, he don’t move as fast as he used to. He don’t talk as fast as he used to, you know? But that middle finger still works, boy,” Rock said.
In a bold and unprecedented move, President-elect Donald Trump has extended invitations to a range of global leaders, including China's President Xi Jinping, to attend his upcoming inauguration. This decision, especially considering an expected trade war, reflects Trump's longstanding commitment to fostering international relationships and highlights his belief in the importance of diplomacy and open dialogue with key figures on the world stage. The invitations, especially to rival leaders, show that Trump is signaling his intent to maintain a firm foreign policy and prioritize American interests while engaging with international counterparts.
Last month, in November 2024, Texas State Board of Education (SBOE) narrowly approved an optional curriculum that would allow stories from the Bible to be taught to K-5 elementary school children. Even though three Republicans joined the board’s four Democratic members to reject the course of study, the SBOE accepted the Bluebonnet reading curriculum in an 8-7 vote.
According to a May 2024 Texas Education Agency (TEA) press release, the reading lessons use a classical education model and include not only Bible-infused courses, but also teach students about art, history, culture, science, and technology. School districts who decide to use the material will receive up to $60 per student
Lindsey Kornick at Fox News reports former CNN host Don Lemon insulted Time magazine as a "joke" after they felt forced to choose President-elect Donald Trump as their Person of the Year.
Lemon hosted a TikTok Live segment where he sounded like he was still hosting at CNN, lamenting that Time was taking a stand against democracy....by sadly acknowledging that Trump solidly won an election, despite every lefty claiming he would end democracy.
How quickly Lemon forgets! Time is the magazine who touted "The Secret History of the Shadow Campaign That Saved the 2020 Election." They touted how the Left "fortified" democracy against Trump.
Hilarity ensued on social media Saturday when President-elect Donald Trump posted a meme depicting former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) as the culprit behind the mysterious drone sightings across the northeast.
The image, which appears to be AI-generated, shows Christie hunched over a large spread of McDonald’s food while half a dozen drones fly toward him with more fast-food deliveries in tow: (Photo) Trump shared the picture across several social media platforms, including Instagram, Truth Social, and X, receiving a total of well over one million likes.
As he posted the meme uncaptioned, the incoming president left the implications rather open-ended
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that his agency was “limited” in its authority to shoot down drones.
Mayorkas said, “There are thousands of drones flown every day in the United States, recreational drones, commercial drones. That is the reality, and in September of 2023, the Federal Aviation Administration, the FAA, changed the rules so that drones could fly at night, and that may be one of the reasons why now people are seeing more drones than they did before, especially from dawn to dusk. So that is the reality, but I want to assure the American public that we are on it.
Federal officials are set to deploy a high-tech drone detection system to New York State as swarms of unidentified flying objects popping up in the tri-state area continue to leave experts perplexed.
The new system will help state and local law enforcement in their investigation into the mysterious drones that have been spotted flickering across the night sky over the past month, Gov. Kathy Hochul said Sunday.
“In response to my calls for additional resources, our federal partners are deploying a state-of-the-art drone detection system to New York State,” Hochul said. (Photos) Despite the boost, Hochul said additional support was needed from Congress to help provide greater resources.
President-elect Donald Trump was the real star of the Army-Navy game as he entered the stadium with a power group in tow. Alongside him were Vice President-elect JD Vance, his pick for defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, and Daniel Penny, the man who was acquitted for putting Jordan Neely in a chokehold on the subway. Speaker of the House Mike Johnson; incoming Senate Majority Leader John Thune, Elon Musk, and Tulsi Gabbard, Trump's choice for director of national intelligence, were also there.
In a shocking revelation that has left social media ablaze and even caught the attention of podcast king Joe Rogan, John Ferguson, the CEO of Saxon Aerospace LLC, has delivered a bombshell theory on a series of mysterious drone sightings.
Ferguson, an expert in the field of unmanned aerial systems (UAS), believes these drones are not operating with nefarious intent but are likely searching for something critical on the ground. (Photos) Speaking in a now-viral TikTok video, Ferguson shared his professional insights into the growing phenomenon, speculating that these unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are part of a classified operation aimed at recovering a nuclear warhead that allegedly
Failed Democratic Vice Presidential candidate Gov. Tim Walz (D-Minn.) is trying to gain sympathy after a devastating loss by crying about the struggles of managing bills and responsibilities he faces as the country’s “poorest” vice president candidate that Americans face daily. Walz shed light on how it felt to be the least richest person to run alongside a presidential candidate despite making over $100,000 annually, while most Americans bring in far less than that.
During an interview, Walz said he thought it was a “flex” that he had to “pay bills” like all Americans and appeal to voters because he is “poor.”
Just three “squad” members showed up to the farewells of ousted members who lost their Democratic primaries this year, Reps. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) and Cori Bush (D-MO). The two Democrats delivered their outgoing speeches to an empty congressional floor with only fellow squad members Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) being present. [Tweet]
Bowman’s progressive stance on issues is said to be the culprit for his devastating loss. The person who pulled the fire alarm to stall a vote earlier this year has become so unpopular that AOC canceled an appearance she had planned with him on Elected Day.

Former Gov. Chris Christie (R-NJ) said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that given the absence of government information on the drone sightings in New Jersey, individuals will soon become “drone vigilantes” and “they’ll start taking them down.”
Christie said, “I lived in New Jersey my whole life. This is the first time that I’ve noticed drones over my house, and I was in a restaurant in Monmouth County on Friday night. I had people at the bar coming up to me and saying, Governor Murphy won’t tell me anything. The president won’t tell me anything. Do you know?"

A "Massachusetts woman on Biden’s clemency list was sentenced for ‘lethal’ fentanyl trafficking conspiracy," according to the Boston Herald. She led a "large-scale criminal enterprise that reaped hundreds of thousands of dollars in profits and caused untold misery."

Perhaps most incredibly, the "Cash for Kids" judge in Pennsylvania who wrongly sent dozens of minors to a for-profit prison and got kickbacks for it, was released without any examination of the facts of his case.
How did President-elect Trump become a billionaire? How did Donald J. Trump, billionaire businessman, bestselling author, mega-successful TV star, become President of the United States in 2016? How did President-elect Trump defy, confront, and prevail over a malevolent Deep State cabal, an American government steeped in collusion, a craven leftwing media, and a mountain of lawfare attacks to win––overwhelmingly––his second bid for POTUS? I always called him the smartest guy in the room. And I suspect that most people would answer those questions––either proudly or grudgingly––by agreeing that his intelligence and also his drive, instincts, charisma, and sheer bravado are the magic ingredients of his blazing success. BUT…UH-OH!
You've got to hand it to the Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry. Their inventiveness and outright fraudulent methods of calculating the number of deaths during the war between Hamas and Israel are deserving of some kind of international recognition.
Sorry, they are already getting plenty of press. Their bogus numbers are reported in the world's leading media outlets as the gospel truth. A few discerning media sources add the note that the ministry is run by Hamas, and even fewer report that the numbers do not differentiate between civilian and military casualties.
The 44,000 dead Palestinians reported by the Gaza Health Ministry is pure, unadulterated propaganda.

There’s been a lot of buzz this week about the appearance of SUV-sized drones over the Atlantic Coast states, particularly New Jersey. They exhibit some characteristics not previously observed, and speculation is rampant. The most commonly voiced of these is that they were launched by Iran from a ship parked off our coast, but that doesn’t seem true. I’m inclined to accept the speculation of Scott Adams, Dilbert’s creator and a man who has spent a great deal of time exploring psychological tools of persuasion:

During the Christmas season, we focus on the birth of Jesus. Our Christmas carols and Nativity sets put the birth of Baby Jesus at the center of the celebration. It’s great to celebrate His birth because of all the theological implications that go along with it, not to mention the miracle of how He came to earth and flipped the dynamics of this world by arriving in the form of a baby born to lowly parents.
But we can’t forget why Jesus came to earth. He was God incarnate, one person in the Trinity, fully human, yet fully God. He set an example for us, healed people, cast out demons,
“This is the way the world ends,” T.S. Eliot famously wrote.
“Not with a bang but a whimper.”
He might have been talking about Joe Biden’s presidency. As he prepares to slink out the door, Biden’s final days in the Oval Office offer a perfect metaphor for everything that was wrong with his tenure.
He pardoned his convicted-criminal son after vowing not to and his mass commutations included one for a judge convicted of taking kickbacks to send juveniles to for-profit detention facilities.
The judge was in Scranton, Pa., meaning Biden even betrayed distraught parents in his hometown.
Joe Biden and the Dem apparat around him have made it plain: They are going to do as much damage to America as they can on the way out the door.
Last week brought a record number of presidential pardons, including 1,500 commutations of the sentences of “nonviolent” felons, most of whom were already serving their sentences at home after being sprung from prison during COVID.
Except the White House upped the count by overlooking some truly heinous offenses: a Pennsylvania judge who took bribes to send kids to a for-profit “detention” center; an Illinois clerk who embezzled over $53 million from a town of just 15,000 people

New Jersey Sen. Andy Kim went out on drone patrol with local police on Thursday night and believes some lights in the sky he came across were possibly drones, but most others — after “deeper analysis” — appear to have just been planes.
Despite his findings, the Democrat, who was sworn in earlier this month, didn’t discount the possibility of drone activity in his state and called out the federal government for not offering answers to the civilians who’ve been reporting sightings for the past several weeks.

Former President Barack Obama had long been rumored as the catalyst for the 2020 Joe Biden nomination — and thereafter played the whispering puppeteer behind the subsequent lost Biden administration years.
As such, he and his coterie proved the virtual architects of the Biden administration, one of the most unpopular and failed presidencies in American history.
Recall earlier that after a flailing candidate Biden lost the first three 2020 primaries and caucuses, his inert campaign was headed nowhere.

The U.S. government is offering a $5 million reward for information on North Korean nationals sneaking into American tech companies and related cyber schemes. This is an effort to crack down on financial networks that fund the activities of the North Korean regime, including the "proliferation of weapons of mass destruction." The reward is offered through the State Department's Rewards for Justice (RFJ) program. The program serves as a national security tool and has paid out over $250 million to tipsters since its inception under President Ronald Reagan in 1984.
In a statement on Thursday, the State Department said:

The difference is, she was actually successful, so much so that she was out of a job and Mulvaney has become more of a punchline than a transgender TikTok “influencer.”

A drunk driver who admitted to crashing into and killing a bride on her wedding night has asked a judge to reduce her sentence.
Jamie Lee Komoroski was ordered to spend 25 years behind bars after pleading guilty to causing the death of newlywed Samantha Miller.
Komoroski, 27, plowed into Miller, 34, and her new husband Aric Hutchinson, 37, while the couple were riding on a golf cart following their wedding reception.
At her sentencing, Komoroski said she was 'devastated, deeply ashamed and terribly sorry' for her actions, which also left Hutchinson seriously injured.
She was given 25 years for a reckless homicide charge, 15 years for two DUI involving great bodily injury charges

Their budget is not controlled by Congress or anyone. They are funded by the Federal Reserve, which is losing hundreds of billions per year. Most of what they do is protecting their own jobs, and they are very highly paid people. The bureau is just another layer of regulators to whom private businesses have to cater.
